The CBO confirms what we’ve been saying: Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history. The poorest 10% lose the most. The richest 10%—the Mar-a-Lago class—cash in. Everyone else gets crumbs. And this is BEFORE tariffs hit.

Trump is calling a bill that he doesn’t understand the only way to save America, and 50 people who mostly DO understand it - and hate it - just voted for it because the guy who doesn’t know what’s in it told them to. What a clusterfuck.

Remember how the Declaration of Independence cataloged all the harms King George III had visited upon the American colonists? Trump has committed many of those same violations in just a few months. @davidcorn.bsky.social & @timothypmurphy.bsky.social lay it out: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Here are the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against King George III. Many apply to Trump.

Are you watching Hakeem Jeffries, who, during his “Golden Minute” on the House floor, has been trying to convince his Repub colleagues not to vote for the budget reconciliation bill FOR OVER FIVE HOURS? That’s what leadership looks like. I am so proud of what he is doing to help us RESIST.

There is lots of chatter that Jeffries intends to break the record (held by McCarthy) for longest House speech. This means he'd go over 8.5 hours. If that's the case, the minimum end time would be 1:25pm ET -- that 2.5 more hours for us to be loud. If you're taking direct action, pls share

Alcatraz brings in between $20 million and $34 million a year in tourism revenue for the National Park Service alone. The cost to renovate Alcatraz could be as high as $350 million to house 300 prisoners. In 1959, it cost over 3x more to house inmates there vs. another prison... 🧵

The larger individual, standing behind, is holding a finger to their lips in a "shushing" gesture, while the smaller individual, strapped to the larger one's chest with a harness, has a displeased expression.
